Young And Old Overview

When the Young And Old Riddim album collection came out in 2001, reggae fans quickly noticed its strong energy and catchy sound. The collection became a favorite in reggae sessions that year, with listeners praising both the lively instrumentals and the performances from well-known artists. Beenie Man, already famous for hits like “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” brought his unique style to the song “Shower And Power Youth.” Burru Banton, known for his deep voice and roots influence, added “Entertainer Peggy.” Chrisinti, a respected singer in the roots reggae scene, delivered “Simpler,” showing his smooth vocals and conscious lyrics. George Nooks, who had chart success with his version of “God Is Standing By,” contributed the romantic track “Tonight.” Half Pint, recognized for his classic anthem “Greetings,” gave fans “Give Me Your Loving,” adding to the collection’s appeal. Other tracks such as Mark Ice’s “Miss You So Much,” Mark Ice Dillign’s “Cus Cus,” Norris Man’s “Real Warrior,” Prezident Brown’s “Ride The Tide,” and Thriller U’s “You Are So Much” helped round out the album with a mix of styles and voices. The sound was shaped by WALL STREET RECORDS, a label known for producing several memorable reggae and dancehall riddims in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their guidance helped the Young And Old Riddim stand out as a key part of reggae’s sound in 2001.
